“…To investigate the surface characteristics of the dental materials, profilometry is a common method of quantitative evaluation and is used in many studies (Gonulol, Tunc, Ozer, & Yildizli, 2019; Maden, Altun, Polat, & Basak, 2018; Ruivo, Pacheco, Sebold, & Giannini, 2019). In addition, mechanical properties can be studied, to compare the restorative materials by means of measuring in nanoscale the resistance to permanent indentation.…”
